Corpses, Pig Heads, and The Devil

[Pluto City. Research Bureau]

Because all the major Mental Hospital in the country are located in this coastal city, the corresponding City Research Bureau is also enormous, and each Mental Hospital has a branch of the Research Bureau, especially responsible for recording the condition of patients in the intensive care unit.

On the Bright Side, those early-stage Pseudo-Human who were housed in the intensive care units of various Mental Hospital would be sent to the Research Bureau for further research after receiving six months of treatment.

In reality, after Luo Di went to the Underground Eden, he discovered that the matter behind it was far more complicated than it seemed, and that there should be a very complete "Pseudo-Human digestion chain" within Pluto City.

Luo Di arrived at the headquarters of the City Research Bureau.

A futuristic building, predominantly white and curved, stands next to the City Investigation Bureau, allowing investigators to provide immediate support should any problems arise inside.

Luo Di held a privilege document stamped with a seal, which clearly stated one thing. "Take [Zhu Bo]'s] body."

Zhu Bo's body has been stored here for three years and nine months and still has high research value. Although research on this body has decreased recently, there is still a project following up on it.

The director in charge of the project immediately recognized that the documents in Luo Di's hands came from the highest level, and might even be the intention of the two bureau chiefs. Although he was very reluctant, he had no choice but to hand them over.

Take the indoor maglev train to the "Pseudo-Human Room," which is more like a completely sealed museum than a morgue.

Valuable and worthy-of-study Pseudo-Human remains are preserved here.

Even though these remains have had their pituitary glands removed, there are still potential risks. Different storage methods and strict access requirements apply to each body.

Zhu Bo's body was stored in a large freezer that was over five meters long.

Before opening the freezer, the supervisor gave the usual explanation of the dangers.

Even though his pituitary gland was removed, his body still retained basic activity, and he was not only able to eat, but also to engage in dangerous gnawing behavior.

If the preservation temperature exceeds -27.4℃, the remains will indiscriminately consume organic matter within a two-meter radius, with humans being the highest priority.

To ensure the viability of the remains, we have been feeding them more than 200 kg per week for the past few years, mainly meat.

The freezer is currently at -40°C, and the body is in a dormant state.

"Open it and take a look."

Luo Di had already caught a whiff of something similar, and the tips of his fingers, hanging between his trouser seams, were gently rubbing together.

The director unlocked it using a series of complex passwords.

Hiss~ A large amount of cold air spreads outward when the cabinet is opened.

A gigantic, inhuman, and frenzied creature of terror was revealed.

Zhu Bo's true form far exceeded Luo Di's original imagination. He had thought the other party was the kind of pork butcher in the movie, but what he saw now was a pure pig-headed mutant.

It still has a basic structure of head, torso, and limbs.

However, this body had an extra section in its torso, with an extra part between the navel and the lower body—a greasy, dangerous, and proliferating area.

[Pig's head]

Numerous Ominous Sign- looking pig heads with fangs are embedded below the navel and above the legs.

It forms a unique "pig's head belly", which wraps around the entire body, making the whole thing look incredibly fat.

Not only is the belly area made up of a pig's head,

This thing also has pig heads growing on its back, but instead of encircling its waist and abdomen, they are neatly distributed on its back like niches.

Zhu Bo's arms and legs were covered in thick, bulky fat.

The palms and soles of the feet also have openings resembling pig snouts, with pig tongues sticking out from them.

Even with so many pig heads and pig-like head structures all over its body,

Luo Di's gaze, however, was drawn to the real pig's head atop the fat neck at the very top.

Huge, insane, filled with fangs, its eyes still gleamed with ferocity even in death.

The pig's head has obvious stitches on both sides of its mouth, which are the scars left when it committed suicide.

"This body weighs over a ton. How does Mr. Luo plan to take it away?"

Luo Di didn't seem to intend to take the object away, but instead asked another question, "From now on, this body belongs entirely to me, right?"

"Yes, according to this document, all rights to the remains have been transferred to your personal name."

"Could you do me a favor? I need to use your spare space to do some preliminary treatment on this body before taking it away."

Furthermore, I demand complete confidentiality of the process, and a complete prohibition on any recording by any device.

"This..."

Considering Luo Di's special status, the supervisor nodded in agreement. "There happens to be a completely enclosed mortuary processing room without cameras right next door. How long would you like to use it?"

"I'll let you know when it's ready."

[Corpse Processing Room]

The cool white light was embedded in every brick seam.

One person and one freezer entered one after another.

The door to the hydraulic structure was locked, and no one knew what was happening inside.

The freezer has been powered off, and the temperature is gradually rising.

Snap!

Luo Di threw the backpack on the ground and took out the pig-slaughtering knife wrapped in a shroud.

During his unwrapping of the shroud

A pungent, porky odor emanated from the blade, seeping into the frozen corpse. Even though it was still frozen, the body had already reacted; the pig's head began to move its mouth with difficulty.

Luo Di gripped the hilt of the knife once more, establishing a connection with his internal pituitary gland.

"Your body has been found. As agreed, we'll have a 'fighting match' here. If I win, you'll obediently become a butcher's knife and follow me from now on."

Hmph!

A series of pig squeals could be heard.

The pig's squeals, which others could not understand, were perfectly clear to Luo Di, the one wielding the knife.

<Throw the knife in...>

Without hesitation,

The butcher's knife was thrown, and the sharp blade pierced the abdomen of the corpse.

In an instant, the temperature on the freezer's display screen began to rise rapidly, quickly breaking through zero degrees Celsius.

Not only that.

Snap snap snap~

The abdomen of the corpse, slashed by the butcher's knife, began to split open, splitting vertically like a huge mouth that pierced through the body, completely swallowing the butcher's knife.

The freezer temperature has also reached the normal human body temperature of 37℃.

Accompanied by deafening squeals of pigs, the alloy-structured freezer was squeezed and deformed, and heavy breathing echoed in the enclosed room.

A monster nearly four meters tall and almost three meters wide appeared before them.

Nearly twenty pig heads all over its body were grunting, as if celebrating its new life.

This sense of oppression was far greater than that of the werewolves in the previous Fighting Arena.

The central oversight office of the City Research Bureau.

Although the monitoring of the mortuary was turned off, they were still able to detect abnormal values inside, which had now exceeded the limit and were flashing red.

This is a warning sign of Imposter activities.

Even if the documents Luo Di brought were personally approved by the director, they could only wait a maximum of five minutes.

[Corpse Processing Room]

Through a special regenerative ability, Zhu Bo managed to integrate the butcher knife into his brain, achieving a unique form of resurrection.

The enormous pig's head on its neck has awakened.

The blade extends from the midline of the face.

However, his eyes on both sides look full of wisdom, and it seems that this resurrection has also caused some damage to his brain, resulting in some intellectual problems.

However, the fact that this pig could revive from its corpse several years after its pituitary gland was removed is enough to demonstrate its special nature, and Luo Di was naturally quite satisfied.

Snap!

The fat palm slapped hard on the belly, and ripples of fat spread across the skin.

"Hmph~ Xiao Bo watched your match, you were really good."

I just didn't expect your brain to be even dumber than mine, hmph!

Knowing full well that Xiao Bo is dangerous, and knowing that Xiao Bo is much stronger than the useless werewolf you killed, you still chose to bring the butcher knife and wanted to fight Xiao Bo.

To repay your kindness in finding your body, Xiao Bo will not slowly kill you; he will make you die as quickly as possible.

Hmph~ Little Bo's head feels a bit unwell, Little Bo is a little hungry, Little Bo is going to get to work.

In Zhu Bo's not-so-bright mind, Luo Di's strength had already been determined: roughly at the level of Three Consecutive Wins streak. Meanwhile, Luo Di was a formidable opponent who had won more than ten matches and could easily kill his opponent.

While he was indeed grateful to Luo Di, eating seemed to be more important.

The pig's head all over its body began to secrete saliva frantically, urging Zhu Bo to move forward with his elephant-like thick legs.

Because he had just thawed, his movements were noticeably stiff and slow.

Just as Zhu Bo took a step forward,

Click!

A metallic clanging sound came from beneath my feet.

Looking down, I saw that the pig's foot had stepped on a perfectly sized animal trap. The spikes had completely pierced through its flesh, and there were also wires wrapped around its entire leg.

Zhu Bo first felt a surge of heat, an absolute heat that could dispel all the coldness in his body.

The intense pain that followed was absorbed by the brain along with the burning sensation.

"Xiao Bo, it hurts so much!!"

All the pig heads started screaming in agony at the same time, their tongues sticking out from the pain.

Snap!

The next moment,

Zhu Bo felt something tightly gripping his neck, and an unimaginable force pushed him backward, his massive body being completely crushed to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, twisted wires were wrapped around the choked neck, piercing under the skin and spreading throughout the pig's head, threatening to penetrate the Brain Tissue at any moment.

Whew... Hah...

The dry, hot breath, carrying ash, fell on Zhu Bo's face, forcing his gaze to look ahead, to the young man pressing down on him.

This isn't Mr. D from the Fighting Arena at all.

Instead, it was a pure Hell Demon.

Dark pupils stared directly into Zhu Bo's eyes, a gaze from hell, as if trying to drag him into a scorching hellish oven for a crispy roast.

"Big brother, I was wrong! Don't kill me!"
